Shopify E-commerce Development for Peta Jane

About the Project

Peta Jane is a self-tanning beauty brand founded by Peta Murgatroyd, a professional dancer and actress known from Dancing with the Stars. Drawing on her industry background, she developed a self-tanning formula meant to nourish skin as well as add color. The brand needed an online store that matched its identity and converted visitors into customers.

Peta Jane worked with SPLIT Development β€” a boutique Shopify agency for beauty, cosmetics, and DTC brands, based in Tallinn, Estonia and Sacramento, CA β€” to design and build its store on Shopify, with a focus on conversion.

The Core Challenge

Building a conversion-focused Shopify store for a founder-led beauty brand
